Xiaoxi's toilet is next to the pigpen. Grandpa Chen built two walls with fire bricks along the eaves. Because the eaves are not high, the brick walls built have no gaps. But on the other side, there is no door and a cloth curtain is blocked. This thing is just to cover up the shame, and is afraid that it will be bad for people to see when going to the toilet, and it will not block the wind at all.

Chen Yubin sat back on his original position, without writing with a pen, opened his hand and grilled it to the fire. "Master, why are there so many pigs in the pigpen?"

"Hmm? There are no pigs in the pigpen?" Xiaoxi turned around and looked at Chen Yubin in surprise.

"Well, I just finished going to the bathroom and went in and took a look, and there was only one pig left." I also threw two red potatoes into the pig's trough.

"The pigs in the pigpen have been sold long ago." Grandma Chen, who was eating peanuts beside her, replied.

Because it is boring to sit by the fire in winter and there is no snack at home, everyone will grab two handfuls of raw peanuts or take two red potatoes, potatoes (potatoes), and taros (taro), and bury them in the fire, roast them and pick them up.

It is cooked on fire and it is delicious. These are all memories of Xiaoxi's childhood winter.

Chen Yubin also pulled out two peanuts from the pile of ash, patted them, and threw them into his mouth after peeling them, regardless of the hot mouth, and ate them with relish.

"I sold it for a long time." Although peanuts were stuffed into his mouth, it couldn't block his mouth and his curious heart.

"Just two days ago, Boss Renwang drove over to collect it. Alas~ Everyone sold it for money this year, so I can have a good New Year." She is really happy for everyone. She has worked hard all year round, and she has been selling it for money. Adults and children can buy new clothes during the New Year and eat two more pieces of meat.

Thinking of the money for selling pigs that I received that day, Grandma Chen wants to laugh three times whenever she thinks of that number.

Not that it is the twelfth lunar month, and it is time for the pig to pass. Looking at the mother-in-law who was smiling silently, Xiaoxi thought that it was probably the money to sell. At this time, she became interested, threw down her pen, turned around, lay on the back of the chair, looked at Grandma Chen leisurely, and said, "Mom, how much did it cost in total?" Those were five fat pigs, Xiaoxi often fed them, so she knew how fat they were.

Grandma Chen smiled and looked at Mr. Chen, pretending not to see the heat in Chen Yubin's eyes. She paused before saying, "Ask your grandpa." It's still awesome.

However, the sister and brother of Xiaoxi turned their heads and looked at Mr. Chen. They were embarrassed by the naked eyes. Mr. Chen couldn't resist it anymore. He forced himself to suppress his excitement and smiled and said, "I sold it in total for 5,340 yuan. Hahaha... I bought you new clothes during the New Year and bought more vegetables. We will have a good meal during the New Year."

Five thousand three hundred and four, it was sold for a lot of money. No wonder the couple was so happy. You know, it would be nice to have a household income of 10,000 yuan in the whole year.

Speaking of the things to buy during the Chinese New Year, Chen Yubin jumped up from the chair excitedly as if he was injected with chicken blood, "I also need to buy cannons. Then buy me more cannons, ground rats (wind monkeys), fireworks, etc.."

Thinking that this year's income is good, we really need to have a good time. It's the Chinese New Year, everyone should be happy, "Okay, then, I'll buy more firecrackers and other things, everyone will be lively, and this year has been hard."

His request was met. Chen Yubin screamed excitedly and jumped around twice in place to express his inner joy.

"That stream, what do you want to buy?" Seeing that the grandson asked, but the granddaughter didn't mention it, Mr. Chen looked at the stream expectantly.

"Ah~ I'll buy something..." Seeing my grandfather ask me what I want to buy during the Chinese New Year, Xiaoxi would definitely be able to say a big shot, but now, she really doesn't know what to buy. "Then, buy more good dishes... Also, if you encounter selling mutton, beef, etc., buy more meat." Thinking of the yellow beef I ate two years ago, Xiaoxi's mouth was about to flow out.

That was the scalper of the Second Master's family. To be honest, the farmhouses were not willing to kill the cows. The cows were the main labor force and the expert in working! That was the cows of the Second Master's family seemed to be exhausted or something. They slaughtered them on the spot, peeled them, and then helped them, each family divided two kilograms of meat, kept some of them at home, and sold the rest to the butchers.

Because the family had never eaten beef, Grandpa Chen planned to stew the two pounds of meat like pork. Xiaoxi hurriedly stopped him, took the big ingredients, and asked Grandpa Chen to braise it. The taste was really amazing, and it was better than any braised beef that Xiaoxi had eaten before.

The other three people also remembered the braised beef they ate that time, and their eyes suddenly turned green, "Yes, buy more, braised beef is delicious."

Mr. Chen also nodded, "That's for sure." Lamb is OK, beef is not common. Now that I have money, I'm caught, so of course I have to buy more.

"Oh, there is also the frozen tofu. You have to buy some tofu and freeze it. The thing is resistant to cooking and tastes good." Thinking of the frozen tofu I ate two days ago, Grandma Chen suggested. She had never eaten tofu like this before. Not to mention her, no one nearby family had ever thought of freezing the tofu out. This is not bad.

"Grandpa, why don't we eat pickled fish at night and add more chili peppers, sour and spicy. This is a cold day, just to get rid of the cold, warm and warm. At school, it makes us cold." Speaking of tofu, Xiaoxi remembered pickled fish.

"Okay." It's so wet and cold that day. Let's get rid of the cold and warm your stomach. There are so many fish, pickled vegetables, and there is not a big deal at home.

The sauerkraut that cooks fish at home is another type of sauerkraut - sauerkraut, which is the whole vegetable leaf of baby cabbage used. It is soaked in a jar like kimchi, sour and spicy. The leaves of baby cabbage are very thick and powerful, and it is delicious to make sauerkraut fish.

Baby cabbage is their name here, also called ercai, and its scientific name is Baozi. Because the buds that grow from the axilla of the leaf continue to expand, they are replaced by enlarged bud blocks, just like countless children surrounding the mother-like mother, it is called baby cabbage.

The Fuling pickles sold in the supermarket are made of tubers of baby cabbage.

He moved as soon as he was moved. The winter night was shorter during the day and it was dark quickly. Grandma Chen patted the dust on her hand, "Then I'll go and see if there is still no tofu now, buy two pieces."

"Ma, buy more. Didn't you say that frozen tofu is delicious? Buy more and come back and freeze it. Anyway, we have a place to put it, so we are not afraid of it being broken." Xiaoxi said.

"Okay, I'll go and have a look." She patted the dust on her clothes, got up, took a basin and went out.

"Okay, you two are doing your homework soon. It's going to be dark. After finishing the work early, throw it over. It's so dark that it hurts your eyes." Seeing that the brother and brother were still picking up peanuts from the pile of dust, Mr. Chen quickly urged.

Xiaoxi and Chen Yubin looked at each other, quickly patted the gray on their hands, and returned to the dining table in shame to do their homework.

"Mom, I'm back." Xiaoxi stood up and glanced at the basin in Grandma Chen's arms. "Only two pieces of tofu left, it's sold well today."

"Haha... I'm lucky today. Their family originally made little today. They specially kept two pieces of them. When they saw me buying tofu, they said they would sell them to me. They would not eat this tofu tonight." Grandma Chen put the basin on the chopping board and said happily. She had just returned from outside and it was almost dark, so she started cutting the tofu and started cooking.

The stream had finished its homework anyway, so it stopped her grandfather who was about to get up and rushed to cook the pot. The firewood was dry and very easy to burn. The firewood in the stove door was burning crackling, and the firelight shone on the stream's face, warm, making the stream look particularly beautiful.

The fire stretched out the figure of the stream and placed it on the earth wall behind. When Chen Yubin saw it, he ran over, raised his hand and gestured against the wall, and he could make a puppy. The geese came and the stream joined in the fun. She only had an extra rabbit, but both of them had a lot of fun.

Because firewood is longer than the hole of the pot, a small half of the firewood will remain outside. If the person who cooks the pot cannot stuff it in time, the outside will fall to the ground after the burning is finished. If someone is sloppy and does not clean up, it will be easy to light up the firewood in front of the pot door.

These two children just played and forgot about cooking the pot. When they heard the sound of firewood falling to the ground, they turned around and hurriedly used to tongs to stuff the firewood falling to the ground into the hole of the pot. Fortunately, Mr. Chen, their family, was a clean person in front of the pot door, and there was no firewood at all. Xiaoxi quickly used a broom to sweep the charcoal that fell everywhere into the ash pile.

Chen Yubin quickly picked up a thin wooden stick, which was still burning, and turned around the unburned end. Because of the fast speed, the ignition drew a coherent circle in the air. He not only drew the circle, but when the fire was extinguished, it would leave a little black charcoal. He wrote and painted the wooden stick on the wall.

"Binbin, what are you doing? You are not allowed to play with fire. You think you are peeing at night... You are not allowed to draw on the wall. Look at what you are doing, the flowers are swelling, and it is black everywhere. If someone leans against the wall, you will just wipe it all..." Old Master Chen, who was burning the fire, turned around inadvertently and scolded him quickly.

The flowers are scattered and fancy.

Children have to urinate at night when playing with fire. Urination means wetting the bed, and drawing a map on the bed. These are all intentional scares adults to be afraid that children will illuminate the house, hurt themselves, and so on. Children are still very concerned about urination, and they also know that they are embarrassed.

But no matter how much adults scare them, children can't resist the temptation of water and fire. The more adults refuse to do what they want, they like to do secretly behind their backs.

They also have another saying, "You can't point to the moon, you will cut your ears when pointing to the moon." This is probably because of the awe of the moon that such words will spread. And not only scare children, but most adults also believe it.

In fact, Xiaoxi believed in what the adults said, but she couldn't resist her curious heart. One night the moon was particularly round and bright, and everyone sat in the yard to rest. Xiaoxi remembered what the adults often said. She secretly stretched out her index finger and pointed at the moon, but she couldn't resist the fear in her heart and quickly withdrew her hand.
